| “ | The principal tool to get the board and management to immerse in the issues but emerge with a clear, common focus is facilitation... It takes a skilled facilitator to catalyze participation from every director, to make sure directors get answers to their questions, to recognize when consensus is emerging and to help define the outcome and next steps.” Ram Charan, Boards That Deliver, 2005 |

As CEO of her own enterprise, Michele has developed her business and flourished through the ups and downs in the global marketplace. She also serves as an advisor and friend to powerful people throughout the world. Michele has the skills, talents and abilities to help boards be more effective. She also has insight, wisdom and a sense of humor that comes from having celebrated the joys of life and suffered the pain of some extraordinary challenges and personal tragedies. Michele can help you resolve conflicts and make decisions. But her role with boards is to help you solve your own conflicts and make your own decisions. Facilitating executive teams requires a strong individual, who can maintain focus and control egos. Although she conducts her work in a completely professional and businesslike manner, her methods originate from her complete understanding of group dynamics and human behavior. Michele has a gift of emotional intelligence that she has honed over many years of working with executives leadership. While the pressure may be intense, the stakes big, and the characters contentious, Michele keeps the process under control and moving towards resolution. She acts as a catalyst to surface underlying issues and a sounding board to consider options. Board Effectiveness often starts with a strong vision, a business strategy and a coordinated plan for implementation. Michele has led many sessions that end in an articulation of a company vision and mission. She can also offer tools examining the key components of a comprehensive business strategy. Finally, Michele understands that a brilliant vision and strong strategy need to be linked directly with a management plan of action that can be matched with the organization’s culture and capabilities.

The
very fact of having an outsider as a facilitator sends a signal
that the meeting will not be business-as-usual. The facilitator’s
skills in getting people involved creates new patterns of participation
and contribution that carry over into regular board meetings.” Ram Charan, Boards at Work, 1998 |
